88 Fingers Louie (named after a shady piano salesman from The Flintstones cartoon) has played a very important part in Chicago, IL's rich punk-rock heritage. The seminal Chicago melodic punk/hardcore band got their official start in 1993 and they quickly started writing, playing shows and released three 7" records during their first year as a band. The band's sound was unique and a combination of all the things they loved about punk rock - drawing influences from '80s, California punk, east coast hardcore as well as midwestern hometown heroes The Bollweevils, Naked Raygun and Pegboy. Vinyl version includes digital download.

At long last, legendary black/death heretics ABOMINATOR return from suspended animation with their highly anticipated comeback album, "Evil Proclaimed". After eight years in the abyss, the core creative duo of drummer/vocalist Chris Volcano and guitarist Andrew Undertaker - both longtime veterans of the deadly Australian metal scene - have reignited the hellfire, having learned their lessons well from a devilish hiatus, and thusly deliver a demonic slab of black/death metal carnage. Aptly titled, "Evil Proclaimed" is ABOMINATOR's fifth album to date, and their first album for HELLS HEADBANGERS. Here, these Oz barbarians range their entire discography, the filth 'n' fury of their earliest days well accounted for whilst showing a nuanced sense of dynamics not heard on their previous albums. The attack's not unlike a heat-seeking missile: stealthy, insistent, focused, FAST...and death imminent. With a history that stretches back more than 20 years now, ABOMINATOR display no signs of softening nor compromise; if anything, they're more committed than ever to harnessing the powers of chaos and unleashing them back as a maelstrom of blackened Metal of Death. Rounded off by the band's best, burliest production ever, "Evil Proclaimed" is the victorious return everyone's been awaiting of ABOMINATOR. Onward they march...

Newcomers Abuse Of Power, hailing from Atlanta, GA, have already begun cultivating quite a following, not only for their sound but also their message. Drawing on '90s Atlanta bands Act Of Faith, Broken and Ex-Members Of for influence, the band also looks to the early New Age catalog (Outspoken, Resurrection and Eleven Thirty-Four) for inspiration. The music Abuse Of Power writes carries weight in every riff, snare hit and bass note. Every word sung comes with an urgency and intention that commands the listener's attention. In a period where hardcore is often dominated by bands that push rhetoric over substance and violence over anger, Abuse Of Power consciously rejects those ideals to prove that hardcore has always been about what you say, not how you say it. 7" is limited to 500 copies.

Radio Raheem proudly presents the first fully-authorized re-issue of the "Loud And Clear" EP. Pressed in the LP format, this 21-track collection is rounded out by the band's 1982 demo and never-before-heard live material. Also included is a 24-page, full-color booklet containing photos, lyrics and the band's infamous show flyers drawn by their vocalist Kevin Crowley, as well as a sticker sheet replicating original Abused sticker designs.
